The FL ends up getting plastic surgery on her face before entering university, after being bullied for her looks all her life. She only does so with the help of her mom without her dad finding out. Now with the face she's always wanted, she's considered as one of the most attractive girls in her department. But the complex she's had and the fact she had her entire face redone is something she wants no one to find out about. -

The ML in Shado Beauty kinda has that prince syndrome, he's nice to the fl and there are hints that he might like her(?) But the FL is like Eun Danho forced to be with a cringy love interest xD

MCs leading a double life, and people treating them differently based on their looks. They make genuine friends in the process.

No body switching in Shadow Beauty like in Lookism though.

they both have dark concept around a school theme which makes both of them similar. in extracurricular ,Determined to escape a dead-end life, a gifted high school student turns to a life of crime to ensure he can pay for college. I basically liked this drama and so I wanted to see Shadow Beauty.

similar vibes as to how social media can ruin a life
-it talks about the truth of the life of a social media influencer

As duas falam de pessoas se escondendo atrás de rede social, além disso as duas teve pessoas transferidas de escola, e escondendo e morrendo de medo de alguém descobrir.

- Jealousy over people
- "Ugly" main characters that are desperate to be someone "perfect"
- Same kind of vibe
- Cinematography kinda same: dark, good quality, close up shots
